Send us a textIn this episode, we ride through the heart of Southern California's Japanese American car culture with Dr. Oliver Wang, curator of the Cruising J-Town exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum. From the sleek lines of import tuners to the slow roll of classic cruisers through Little Tokyo, we explore how cars became more than machines—they became mirrors of identity, pride, and belonging.Through personal stories and historical snapshots, we uncover how Japanese American communities used car culture to carve out space, style, and self-expression. Whether it's the legacy of lowriders or the rise of the JDM scene, this episode reveals how the road has always been a place to gather, to flex, and to remember.For more information about the Japanese American National Museum, please visit our website at www.janm.org.

Let's find out what happens when you report a text message or email as junk. Also, now might be a good time to book that cruise ship vacation, with prices coming down. Fewer women are having children, or they're waiting later in life to become mothers. Why is that? One of Big Bear's main roads Highway 38 has been wiped out due to storm-related floods and will likely remain closed for months. The Los Angeles Olympics in 2028 has got many locals concerned about how bad the traffic will be, so school buses will be used to combat the bottleneck.

Radical lesbian activist Oak Chezar spent three years protesting nuclear war at Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, and another five living on lesbian women's lands. Some of Oak's stories were aired on our original Greenham Common episode with Sue Say and, due to popular demand, we bring you Sarah's full conversation with her here today. Tune in for never-before-seen tales of creative actions, annoying law enforcement, living outside of the dominant culture, and finding love at the lesbian peace camp. If you missed our Sue Say episode, or forgot its contents: Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp was an anti-nuke encampment outside of a US military base in England. There, women (and loads of lesbians) occupied from 1981 all the way through 2000. Every day at Greenham was exciting - for better or for worse. The women were evicted from their camps and terrorized by police every morning, they rebuilt every day, and by the end of the night found new creative ways to peacefully disrupt the military base next to them. Tune in for Oak's never-before-seen tales of creative actions, annoying law enforcement, living outside of the dominant culture, and finding love at the lesbian peace camp.

Join host Bela Musits and Captain Mike Malekoff as they continue their multi-day sailing journey up the United States East Coast aboard Mike's Hunter 44 Deck Salon. In this episode, they share the details of their passage from Half Moon Bay Marina in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, to Shadows Marina in Poughkeepsie, NY — a scenic and eventful run on the historic Hudson River.This episode is part of a special series recorded during the relocation of Mike's boat from Brunswick, Georgia, all the way to Burlington, Vermont. With each leg, Bela and Mike bring listeners along for the ride, sharing real-time observations, navigational decisions, and the beauty (and occasional challenges) of cruising one of America's most storied waterways.Highlights from this episode include:Smooth sailing with a tailwind – Thanks to excellent passage planning and favorable conditions, the crew maintained an impressive seven-knot average speed for much of the 30-mile leg.Tidal assist – Strategic timing with the tide gave them a strong push upriver, making for one of the fastest runs of the trip so far.Weather blessings – Consistently great weather has been a highlight of this relocation voyage, allowing for comfortable and efficient travel.Debris challenges – Heavy rains upriver had flushed a surprising number of logs and floating debris into the Hudson. Bela and Mike share how they stayed alert, maneuvered around hazards, and avoided damage.River life and scenery – From shoreline views to passing landmarks, the Hudson River continues to offer a stunning backdrop for their sailing adventure.Why this episode is a must-listen for sailors and cruisers: If you're planning to cruise the Hudson River, or considering an extended relocation trip on the Intracoastal Waterway and connected inland rivers, this episode offers valuable insights. From understanding how to leverage tides for better speed, to dealing with unexpected navigational hazards like floating logs, Bela and Mike provide firsthand knowledge that's both relatable and useful.Key takeaways for boaters:Plan your departure times to align with favorable tides — the boost in speed and fuel efficiency is worth the effort.After heavy rains, expect more debris in the river and stay vigilant, especially at higher speeds.Even short legs can be some of the most scenic and memorable parts of a voyage — don't rush through them without taking time to enjoy the surroundings.About the hosts:Bela Musits – A lifelong sailor, Bela is passionate about sharing real-world cruising experiences. As host of the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States Podcast, he brings listeners aboard for authentic stories and practical advice.Mike Malekoff – Owner of the Hunter 44 Deck Salon featured in this journey.

Adulthood has long been overlooked as a phase in human development. This is, in part, due to its implicit assumption of steadiness. Its shifting hues tend to be less dramatic than those of adolescence and elderhood, its moods less pronounced. Much of the time, we do the work of our lives, showing up for our common refrain while quietly learning to cultivate fulfillment on our own terms; our creative pursuits and revelatory practices often relegated to the margins of our daily lives.We are exceptionally connected, balancing our digital and analog lives. We are so busy. There is so much to do. Who has time? Adults say these things in exasperation, grasping for affirmation or companionship in the midst of their grievances. But it's true—to be in the human world today is to drink from a firehose of information. Plus, what depths are safe to plumb outside the sanctuary of a therapist's office or a park bench with a trusted friend? The stakes of vulnerability are high. So high, in fact, that Brené Brown describes judgment as “the currency of the midlife realm.” By midlife, we are expected to have brought to fruition the aspirations of our earlier selves—to have reached a plateau of practicality and resolve. Cruising altitude, as they say.Of course, we who inhabit or have inhabited the realm of adulthood know better. Inside the cornucopia of being human, spiraling inward from its bright surface, exist multitudes. Much like the tonal expressions of early autumn, the richer pigments of our psyche—previously concealed behind summer's green façade—gradually reveal their layers to those who pay attention: ripening, sweetening, scenting the air with integration and maturation.~Today, I am writing from the belly of a meditation retreat at Vallecitos, among the ancient, indiscreet ponderosas of Northern New Mexico. Belly is a phrase I favor mid-retreat because it refers to the tender middle, the bellows, the digestive center. For five days, however brief an expanse of unclaimed hours, I have sat with myself in a wooden casita outfitted with a kerosene heater, a writing desk, and a chipmunk who makes neighborly visits to the stoop.There is a shimmer to this mountain valley nestled deep in the Carson National Forest—a million-acre, many-voiced wilderness. Everything breathes here. Cold morning dew washes the meadows; afternoon shadows sweep the valley. Here, the pines thicken into themselves, aspens become jittery and luminous as they dry in the breeze, and just beneath my feet, lichen and mycelium weave their storied logic.Ramón y Cajal, a Spanish neuroscientist who pioneered studies of the central nervous system at the turn of the 20th century, referred to neurons as “butterflies of the soul”—tender, erratic, natural, and necessary.Most days, I am like most adults. I move through a slurry of data and directives, my nervous system siphoning thoughts, words, plans, and presences. Most days, my neurons do not feel like butterflies. But the land's knack is to shed and replenish, to dwell and allow and transform. A stone stays in place while the river glides over its surface, gradually polishing its form. I recall a beloved teacher once describing enlightenment simply as no more raw edges.There is a choreography to these days of sitting, walking, sweeping, sleeping; the routine is a slow, scaffolded unraveling. Contingent parts within me make themselves more visible to the naked eye: the part seeking a reprieve from boredom—hello, gorgeous organic berries at breakfast!—and the part that feels alive with fright on an unlit walk at night. The part that is slavish to comfort and sensitive to nonverbal exchanges in the lunch queue. The chronic clock-watcher who would count the hours until I see my family again…But also, there is a solitude I am befriending in my adult years—a creative and patient companion self. My nervous system grows almost amphibious here: reflective, tremulous, equilibrating like the surface of the alpine ponds of this valley. I imagine myself like the ancient city of Venice, which, during its pandemic-mandated reprieve from the normal throngs of tourists, welcomed dolphins back to its capillaried canals.I move through the forest, only to discover the strange phenomenon of the forest moving through me. The trees pass sideways; sunlight pitches down in mosaics, glancing off the backs of leaves. I rest on the round body of a pine, and the sound of critters, once a polite backdrop, sidles forward: bluebird, fox, nondescript scuttle from the bushes. The entire canopy hums—at me, through me—a polyphony the writer Amy Leach might call everybodyism, an ensemble of selfhoods.It is, if anything, a kind of organization I find myself settling into: organism, order—these words sharing root and logic. The fractal arrangements of life in the forest transmit glimpses of my body's own sophisticated animal intelligence. Each muscle adjusts moment by moment to the terrain, dynamic and improvisational. The mind may imagine it stands apart—thank you, Descartes, for teaching us to narrate ourselves from above—but the world refuses such neat separations. Artificial intelligence, with its disembodied schemes, cannot meet moss or kneel to converse with mushrooms as we can.In her evening talk, Erin Treat, guiding teacher at Vallecitos, serendipitously shares the opening line from The Famished Road, a 1991 novel by Nigerian author Ben Okri that won the Booker Prize: “In the beginning, there was a river. The river became a road, and the road branched out to the whole world. And because the road was once a river, it was always hungry.” I think of this teaching as I move between stone and stream, insights replenishing from nowhere I can name. Dusk gathers, cliff shadows lengthen, and a presence stirs the forest, calling wandering creatures home.Together, we are making sense of being human in an era of radical change.

In this episode, I sit down with Nica and Jeremy Waters, a couple cruising on their 28 foot Bristol Channel Cutter, Calypso. We met up on the north side of Nuka Hiva in the Marquesas. You might recognize Nica's voice from The Boat Galley podcast she does with Carolyn Shearlock. Jermey has created an affordable weather routing tool for all cruisers called Fast Seas. They both provide information and inspiration for other cruisers, having set sail multiple times in their own lives - first as a young couple, then as a family of four, now as a retired couple.

The open road has a way of pulling profound thoughts from even the most distracted minds. Cruising down highways lined with autumn-kissed trees, this episode captures the stream-of-consciousness reflection that can only happen behind the wheel.Bobby dives deep into the peculiar hill he's willing to die on – hot coffee versus canned coffee – and why he'll defiantly order a steaming cup even in the sweltering Texas heat. The conversation shifts to life's small revelations, like his first childhood discovery of cruise control and how it terrified him to see his aunt seemingly driving without feet on the pedals.The meat of the episode tackles a modern philosophical dilemma: how much understanding should we extend to those who seem incapable of reciprocating? When someone cuts you off in traffic, are you obligated to imagine they're rushing to the hospital? Or is there a point where collective consideration breaks down when only some people practice it?Throughout the journey, Bobby shares moments of connection that punctuate his nomadic lifestyle – attending Nikki Glazer Day at Busch Stadium, bonding with her family, and even getting invited to smoke with her neighbors. He reflects on the liberation that comes with emptying his storage unit, letting go of VHS tapes and memorabilia that once seemed essential to preserving his memories.Whether you're a fellow road warrior or simply enjoy listening to unfiltered thoughts, this episode offers a window into the comedian's mind as he navigates both highways and life itself. Check out Bobby's website for new tour dates – he's booking shows and ready to bring his unique perspective to a venue near you.
Jeff and Phil welcome their old friend Oliver Wang, professor of sociology, curator for the Japanese American National Museum exhibition Cruising J-Town: Behind the Wheel of the Nikkei Community, and author/editor of the exhibition's companion book. They talk about the rich history of Japanese American car culture in Los Angeles, its significance in shaping community identity, the impact of urban development, the surprising gamesmanship involved in street racing, and the complex tapestry of stories still waiting to be uncovered in Asian American history. Oliver also shares some of his research on an important question: why is "Bizarre Love Triangle" the unofficial anthem for Asian Americans (of a certain age)?
Send us a textHello, passionate cruisers! This is Paul and this week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome James and Tracey, making memories one trip at a time, and creators of The Traveling Type YouTube channel, and Instagram. As frequent listeners know, I watch cruise YouTube videos incessantly as I work on the podcast seemingly every waking hour—often with the sound down. When a The Traveling Type video comes on, I turn the sound up because I know they are likely going to chronicle a cruise (or land trip) I can relate to because Cheryl and I have done it—Dubai/Abu Dhabi, Aruba, Venice, Cannes, Maxwell Cruise—or James and Traceyare sharing experiences we long to do, e.g., Icon of the Seas, Carnival's new Celebration Key! James and Tracey said, “Our channel is The Traveling Type. Our channel allows viewers to experience the world through our eyes. Our channel is our way to share us exploring the world, sharing the beauty, culture, and experiences encountered along the way. We try to provide helpful information, practical tips, or simply an escape through vicarious travel. We were bitten by the travel bug early on while our children were young. Vacations allowed us to create lasting memories while exposing them to diverse cultures and show them that the world has so much to offer. We travel for Family, Friends, Food & Fun, while making memories one trip at a time.
